Today I'm showing you another of the China Glaze Road Trip collection polishes, the light peach Pack Lightly. In the bottle I could see a golden/coppery shimmer, but it did not translate well on the nails. You might be able to see a hint of it in the macro picture, but it was hardly visible at all IRL unless the light was really strong. I love the colour, but the formula was not good at all. It was your typical China Glaze thin consistency, which I usually like, but this one was extremely hard to get even on the nail. I'm wearing four thin coats here, perhaps it would have been easier if I had picked up more polish on the brush. It dried slowly because of the many layers, and it seemed to react very strangely to my top coat (Nail Pattern Boldness Digital Flash), it started bubbling and kind of shrunk in the middle of the nail and looked very bumpy and strange. It was more visible in real life than in my pictures, but you may be able to see it on my ring finger here.

I must say I'm a bit disappointed. It might be me who applied it sloppily, but I'm going to have to try this again with thicker coats and a different top coat. The colour is really nice though, so its a pity the formula was so bad. From what I have read, other people did not seem to have this much trouble with it, perhaps I got a bad bottle then. Has anyone else tried this? Did you experience the same problems as me?

Nails and all that jazz
